Helvete. Tänk om det hade funnits något man kunde göra ändå.

That's what I'm saying! It does not say anywhere that it's spelled extrAverted in the UK. If anything it says the exact opposite.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, "The original spelling 'Extravert' is now rare in general use but is found in technical use in psychology."

Don't come here with logical arguments! :(

I'm sorry, but you're confused, and you're making me very confused. Or I'm confused and you're confused also. All I know is I'm confused. And you.

Viewer (customer) pays $100 for some content. Of those 100, OF (infrastructure & service provider) takes $30 as an income and the remaining $70 goes to the content creator as income.

Profit is what's left from the income after you have paid your costs. The 30% OF takes is an income from which they will have to pay for things needed to run OF, and the 70% the content creators get is their income from which they have to pay for the things they need to create the content. Wages are included in the costs. What's left after paying bills, wages etc are the profits.

Maybe I'm tired but this comment reads to me as if you're disagreeing with me when everything you say supports what I said? My objection/question was how you came to the conclusion it's a US/UK thing. There's no support for that in the article.

Correct. But extrOvert makes no sense, etymologically (latin). The dictionaries accept it, but I (jokingly) don't.

Tldr A British English, O American English

What? How did you get to that conclusion? That's not what the article says at all? It says Phyllis Blanchard used the (then incorrect) spelling with an O (while also changing the definition of the term to something most people I think would disagree with) in a paper she wrote and nobody knows why. And it spread from there.

I think you're interpreting "Today, ExtrOvert is the most common spelling of the term in the United States." to mean it's spelled with an A elsewhere, but the author even brings up the Oxford Dictionary (UK) that says that the original spelling with an A is rare in general use. I live outside the US and I pretty much exclusively see the O-spelling.

EDIT: Changed from "incorrect" to "then incorrect" to clarify. She wrote her article before extrOvert entered the dictionary, and - according to the author of the article linked earlier in this thread - her article might have been a big contributing factor for it entering the dictionary that was published soon after.

I get so much satisfaction whenever I see extravert spelled correctly, which is very rare these days.

So confident, yet so wrong.

If it's too long I don't even start reading, I back out immediately.

If I start reading and see it's a bunch of back story with too much detail I might skip to the next block. If it isn't to the point within the first five words of that block or the next I back out. I've got dopamine receptors to satisfy God dammit.

That last paragraph was very short. But I hear some don't mind it like that.

Those purchases aren't paid for by Only Fans. It's the content creators who pay for all that (unless there's a way to get sponsored by OF, I don't know). However, reliably storing and streaming video in high quality across the globe with low latency, both live and on demand, which is what OF does, is expensive af. It's one of the reasons, if not the main one, there are no real competitors to YouTube.
